Men should marry when they are young, and women should marry when they are young. It is natural for a family to have girls from every family, even girls from rich families are no exception.
On this day, Matchmaker Bao, who was famous in eight villages within ten miles, came to the Yun family compound.
This matchmaker is not very old, in her thirties, and her surname is Mei. Because her husband’s surname is Bao, everyone calls her Matchmaker Bao.
Matchmaker Bao was good-looking when she was young, and she is quite pretty even now, but she married an old Mongolian. Her husband had bad legs and feet and could not do heavy work. He also wanted to drink heavily every day.
But there is no way, this is fate. When life at home was too tight, she had no choice but to work for a matchmaker to supplement the family income, so she could barely survive.
When Matchmaker Bao came to the Yun family compound, she was warmly welcomed. Second Master Yun let her go to the main room in the backyard, and invited the old lady, aunt, second mother, third mother, third master, and Zhao master to accompany the matchmaker.
"Congratulations to the old lady, Mr. Yun, and all the elders of the Yun family! Mr. Guo, the big boss of the Guo family, asked me to propose marriage to his eldest son. This is a great thing that is about to happen to the Yun family.
The eldest son of the Guo family has just turned twenty this year. He has been studying abroad and has completed his studies. Now he is back to prepare to take charge of the family business. There are three girls in the Guo family, the eldest and the second are married off to their husband's family.
The Guo family only has one son. When the old man and the old lady get older, the girl will be able to take charge of the family business. Isn't it a great thing for such a big family to be able to take charge of the family? "
Matchmaker Bao was eloquent, while looking at the expressions of everyone in the Yun family, she looked at Yunshan in a serious manner. But what she said was the truth, but it was a bit mysterious when it came out of her mouth.
"The fourth girl from my third eldest family is seventeen this year, and it's time to find her husband's family. Then please ask the eldest sister to talk about the marriage with us. If it is done, I will be greatly thanked!"
Second Master Yun first expressed his agreement. He is now the head of the family and his words have the most weight.
"Mr. Yun, where are you talking about? This young master is literate and his family's fortune is so big. Why should we find someone who has gone to school? Only someone who can read and digit can be a good match for Mr. Guo!"
Matchmaker Bao felt that Mr. Yun had misunderstood her intentions.
"The fourth girl has also studied for several years. She knows all the words in front of her, which is enough for her in the farmyard. What's more, the fourth girl in my family is also well-educated and sensible. She is diligent and thrifty and can live a good life. She will be blessed with a prosperous husband."
Old Mrs. Yun felt that it would be a good thing to marry the fourth girl to the Guo family. The Guo family not only had a large family business, but also had a good reputation among people near and far, so she stepped forward to help talk, hoping to facilitate such a marriage.
"You are really good at talking, but the Guo family has other wishes. To tell you the truth, they are attracted by the fifth young lady of your family, so they asked me to come and propose marriage to the Yun family. I also think that the fifth young lady and the Guo family Young Master is the most suitable."
Matchmaker Bao didn't want to talk in circles with the Yun family anymore, so she had to go straight and make things clear. But after hearing this, no one in the Yun family responded immediately, but fell into silence collectively.
"Monroe! The fourth girl hasn't found her husband's family yet, how can the fifth girl look for her first? I'm afraid this is not appropriate."
Mrs. Yun first expressed her incomprehension. Logically speaking, it is not too early to find a husband for Monroe, but the Yun family is a large family and cannot marry off the girl as early as a small family, and they have to stay for two more years.
Under normal circumstances, in that era, a girl had to find her husband's family when she was fifteen or six years old. If she did not get married at sixteen or seventeen, it would be too late. The Yun family was a wealthy family, so of course they had to consider marrying off the girl later.
"The eldest son of the Guo family and Monroe are truly matched, with equal talent and appearance. They are truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven! This is a good opportunity that you cannot miss.
If Mr. Yun can agree to this marriage, I will be responsible for finding a good family for the fourth girl. I guarantee that it will not be much worse than the Guo family, and it will be the family as soon as you step in. I guarantee that the matchmaker will keep her word! "
"It stands to reason that it's time for Monroe to find a family. But Monroe is a willful child, and she has to listen to her wishes when looking for her husband's family. I think this way, our family needs to discuss it carefully, and we also need to take a look at the child's condition. mean.
Big sister, please come back in a few days. But since you agreed, you have to settle the affairs of the fourth girl as soon as possible. I want them to get engaged together. This is also in line with etiquette. "
Mr. Yun made the final decision and set the tone. Matchmaker Bao felt that there would be no results if she continued, so she stood up and left.
The Yun family asked her to eat, but she refused to eat. She took the red envelope given by the Yun family and left happily.
After Matchmaker Bao left, the Yun family sat together to discuss it for a while, and felt that this marriage was okay. As long as Matchmaker Bao could find a good family for the fourth girl, this marriage was negotiable.
In fact, everyone was worried about Monroe. This willful girl could not be easily persuaded. Without Monroe's consent, any good marriage would be difficult to achieve. The Yun family did not want to choke Monroe.
What's more, Monroe herself is also an outstanding girl. Not only is she good-looking, she can handle big things and small things, and she comes from such a family, so it is logical for her to find a well-known family.
But the Yun family also knew that it was not easy to convince Monroe, because whenever they mentioned finding her in-laws, Monroe would yell and it seemed that she was not busy looking for her in-laws.
So this matter was left to Mrs. Yun for persuasion first.
At night, the old lady called Monroe to the house where she lived and told Monroe what happened during the day. After hearing this, Monroe disagreed and shouted over and over again, 'No, no, no!' 'The attitude is very firm.
"Good boy, be obedient. How can a girl not marry when she is older?"
Grandma kept persuading Monroe over and over again.
"The Guo family has been cooking pots for many years, and their business is unbeaten. They are a family that is going through life, and they are richer than ours.
The eldest young master of the Guo family is not only good-looking, he also studied in a big city, has seen the world, is well-educated, and has no brothers competing for property.
His father was getting older and was ready to hand over the family business to him, so he asked him to come back. Your father and I both think this marriage is a good one, why are you disobedient? "
"I don't know what his family is like, what kind of people he is, it's so far away, and I don't know the inside story, no way!
I am looking for someone who is right in front of me, who knows everything, and will never leave you and your home. "
Monroe reluctantly revealed her mentality, which made Mrs. Yun a little embarrassed. She thought, why does this child have such weird ideas? How can a girl not leave home to find her husband's family when she is older?
"How can there be any suitable ones in front of our family? It's not like you don't know about the families in our village. Almost every family is not too wealthy, and they can't compare with our family. I can't watch you suffer poverty, and your father won't agree to it. "
"No, I want to find the one in front of me. If it's not the one in front of me, I won't even die. Besides, I don't want to get married at such a young age!"
Monroe seemed to be determined and firmly disagreed with the Guo family's marriage.
When grandma saw that Monroe was so stubborn, she felt a little abnormal, but she still tried to persuade her for a long time. Monroe just refused to agree and was so willful that people were confused.
In the end, Monroe simply refused to listen to her grandmother's persuasion and ran away with tears in her eyes.
Old Mrs. Yun was left sitting by herself for a long time, and she didn't understand why Monroe was doing this. Although she was usually willful, she still understood the truth. Why was she so hard-thinking about this matter? .
